Much (most?) of those protests in other countries are outside of US embassies, so sends a message to the US still

It also puts notice to the country you're within to not treat the US as business as usual

Ah oops, yes there is one in Vancouver didn't catch that

The other ones you probably noticed were not that and were part of Alaska, just with some really big bubbles that make it look further inland

Don't know the organizers or anything, but I'd imagine the heavy foreign aid gutting is probably part of it

I understand the reason, but that is the exact opposite of what we need right now. These protests on Saturday are peaceful and we need everyone to stand up. Trump wants our silence and complicity. Don't give it to him

The only way out of this is through. Backing down or out will let things get worse

It's far more global than people think. Here's global estimates in 2019

We estimate that over 90% of farmed animals globally are living in factory farms at present. This includes an estimated 74% of farmed land animals (vertebrates only) and virtually all farmed fish.[1] However, there is substantial uncertainty in these figures given the land animal estimates’ heavy reliance on information from Worldwatch Institute with unclear methodology[2] and limited data on fish farming.

More than just Europe actually, but you really stopped being able to tell just how many were in the US if I zoomed out further

Mexico, Costa Rica, Colombia, Malawi, Australia, also all have at least one No Kings protests planned too

EDIT: and Canada

Yes, there is no update on their website's newsroom press releases is what I am saying. Last one was posted online a day before they tweeted this one

They did not post on their newsroom or anything yet as far as I could find, just their official social media accounts

LAPD posted a screenshot of the text originally. See the link in the body https://xcancel.com/LAPDPIO/status/1931538326600995262#m

It's not as much about each specific thing as much as is about the overarching story. That Trump was at a UFC event and stayed while calling the national guard, that he didn't call them in on Jan 6th, that the LAPD called the protests mostly peaceful, etc.

People need motivation to act on their convictions. Visible push back from others is hugely important to seeing it as more unjustified and that they can refuse unlawful orders

It's also a spectrum. Vaguely feeling that something is probably wrong vs seeing stories about how it's wrong are different

Public opinion matters a lot in this movement - not because Noem will care - but because it influences how the members themselves of the national guard respond. If the nation guard members think it is unjustified, they are more likely to not follow any unlawful orders

Yes the charges are stupid, but they are primarily to make it so that Trump's fold doesn't look like a fold. This is a win that he is out from El Salvador and puts further pressure to bring back all the others in a similar situation
